M. et al., “Pharmaceutical Salts,” Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 66:1-19 (1997)). Acid addition salts of basic compounds may be prepared by contacting the free base forms with a sufficient amount of the desired acid to produce the salt according to methods and techniques with which a skilled artisan is familiar.
“Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salt” refers to those salts that retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the free acids, which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable. These salts are prepared from addition of an inorganic base or an organic base to the free acid. Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts may be formed with metals or amines, such as alkali and alkaline earth metals or organic amines. Salts derived from inorganic bases include, but are not limited to, sodium, potassium, lithium, ammonium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, aluminum salts and the like. Salts derived from organic bases include, but are not limited to, salts of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, substituted amines including naturally occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines and basic ion exchange resins, for example, isopropylamine, trimethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, 2-diethylaminoethanol, dicyclohexylamine, lysine, arginine, histidine, caffeine, procaine, N,N-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, hydrabamine, choline, betaine, ethylenediamine, ethylenedianiline, N-methylglucamine, glucosamine, methylglucamine, theobromine, purines, piperazine, piperidine, N-ethylpiperidine, polyamine resins and the like.

As used herein, “treatment” or “treating,” or “palliating” or “ameliorating” are used interchangeably herein. These terms refers to an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results including but not limited to therapeutic benefit and/or a prophylactic benefit. By “therapeutic benefit” is meant eradication or amelioration of the underlying disorder being treated. Also, a therapeutic benefit is achieved with the eradication or amelioration of one or more of the physiological symptoms associated with the underlying disorder such that an improvement is observed in the patient, notwithstanding that the patient may still be afflicted with the underlying disorder. For prophylactic benefit, the compositions may be administered to a patient at risk of developing a particular disease, or to a patient reporting one or more of the physiological symptoms of a disease, even though a diagnosis of this disease may not have been made.
“Prodrug” is meant to indicate a compound that may be converted under physiological conditions or by solvolysis to a biologically active compound described herein. Thus, the term “prodrug” refers to a precursor of a biologically active compound that is pharmaceutically acceptable. A prodrug may be inactive when administered to a subject, but is converted in vivo to an active compound, for example, by hydrolysis. The prodrug compound often offers advantages of solubility, tissue compatibility or delayed release in a mammalian organism (see, e.g., Bundgard, H., Design of Prodrugs (1985), pp. 7-9, 21-24 (Elsevier, Amsterdam).
A discussion of prodrugs is provided in Higuchi, T., et al., “Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems,” A.C.S. Symposium Series, Vol. 14, and in Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, ed. Edward B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987.
The term “prodrug” is also meant to include any covalently bonded carriers, which release the active compound in vivo when such prodrug is administered to a mammalian subject. Prodrugs of an active compound, as described herein, may be prepared by modifying functional groups present in the active compound in such a way that the modifications are cleaved, either in routine manipulation or in vivo, to the parent active compound. Prodrugs include compounds wherein a hydroxy, amino or mercapto group is bonded to any group that, when the prodrug of the active compound is administered to a mammalian subject, cleaves to form a free hydroxy, free amino or free mercapto group, respectively. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, acetate, formate and benzoate derivatives of alcohol or amine functional groups in the active compounds and the like.
Unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are intended to include compounds which differ only in the presence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms.

Bromodomain Inhibition
Chromatin is the complex of DNA and protein that makes up chromosomes. Histones are the major protein component of chromatin, acting as spools around which DNA winds. Changes in chromatin structure are affected by covalent modifications of histone proteins and by non-histone binding proteins. Several classes of enzymes are known which modify histones at various sites.
Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression caused by mechanisms other than the underlying DNA sequence. Molecular mechanisms that play a role in epigenetic regulation include DNA methylation and chromatin/histone modifications.
The genomes of eukaryotic organisms are highly organized within the nucleus of the cell. Tremendous compaction is required to package the 3 billion nucleotides of the human genome into the nucleus of a cell.
Histones are the chief protein components of chromatin. There are a total of six classes of histones (H1, H2A, H2B, H3, H4, and H5) organized into two classes: core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) and linker histones (H1 and H5). The basic unit of chromatin is the nucleosome, which consists of about 147 base pairs of DNA wrapped around the core histone octamer, consisting of two copies each of the core histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4.
Basic nucleosome units are then further organized and condensed by the aggregation and folding of nucleosomes to form a highly condensed chromatin structure. A range of different states of condensation are possible, and the tightness of chromatin structure varies during the cell cycle, being most compact during the process of cell division.
Chromatin structure plays a critical role in regulating gene transcription, which cannot occur efficiently from highly condensed chromatin. The chromatin structure is controlled by a series of post translational modifications to histone proteins, notably histones H3 and H4, and most commonly within the histone tails which extend beyond the core nucleosome structure. These modifications include acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ribosylation sumoylation, ubiquitination, citrullination, deimination, and biotinylation. The core of histones H2A and H3 can also be modified. Histone modifications are integral to diverse biological processes such as gene regulation, DNA repair, and chromosome condensation.
Histone Acetylation and Bromodomains
Histone acetylation is generally associated with the activation of gene transcription, as the modification is known to loosen the interaction of the DNA and the histone octamer by changing the electrostatics. In addition to this physical change, specific proteins are known to bind to acetylated lysine residues within histones in order to read the epigenetic code. Bromodomains are small (110 amino acid) distinct domains within proteins that are known to bind to acetylated lysine residues commonly, but not exclusively, in the context of histones. Around 50 proteins are known to contain bromodomains, and they have a range of functions within the cell.
The BET family of bromodomain containing proteins comprises 4 proteins (BRD2, BRD3, BRD4 and BRD-t) which contain tandem bromodomains capable of binding to two acetylated lysine resides in close proximity, increasing the specificity of the interaction.
Bromodomain-containing proteins that recognize acetylated lysines on histones (such as BET proteins and non-BET proteins) have been implicated in proliferative disease. BRD4 knockout mice die shortly after implantation and are compromised in their ability to maintain an inner cell mass, and heterozygotes display pre- and postnatal growth defects associated with reduced proliferation rates. BRD4 regulates genes expressed during M/G1, including growth-associated genes, and remains bound to chromatin throughout the cell cycle (Dey, et al. (2009) Mol. Biol. Cell 20:4899-4909). BRD4 also physically associates with Mediator and P-TEFb (CDK9/cyclin T1) to facilitate transcriptional elongation (Yang, et al. (2005) Oncogene 24:1653-1662; Yang, et al. (2005) Mol. Cell. 19:535-545). CDK9 is a validated target in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and is linked to c-Myc-dependent transcription (Phelps, et al. Blood 113:2637-2645; Rahl, et al. (2010) Cell 141:432-445).
BRD4 is translocated to the NUT protein in patients with lethal midline carcinoma, an aggressive form of human squamous carcinoma (French, et al. (2001) Am. J. Pathol. 159:1987-1992; French, et al. (2003) Cancer Res. 63:304-307). In vitro analysis with RNAi supports a causal role for BRD4 in this recurrent t(15; 19) chromosomal translocation. Also, inhibition of the BRD4 bromodomains has been found to result in growth arrest/differentiation of BRD4-NUT cell lines in vitro and in vivo (Filippakopoulos, et al. “Selective Inhibition of BET Bromodomains,” Nature (published online Sep. 24, 2010)).
Bromodomain-containing proteins (such as BET proteins) have also been implicated in inflammatory diseases. BET proteins (e.g., BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, and BRDT) regulate assembly of histone acetylation-dependent chromatin complexes that control inflammatory gene expression (Hargreaves, et al. (2009) Cell 138:129-145; LeRoy, et al. (2008) Mol. Cell. 30:51-60; Jang, et al. (2005) Mol. Cell. 19:523-534; Yang, et al. (2005) Mol. Cell. 19:535-545). Key inflammatory genes (secondary response genes) are down-regulated upon bromodomain inhibition of the BET subfamily, and non-responsive genes (primary response genes) are poised for transcription. BET bromodomain inhibition protects against LPS-induced endotoxic shock and bacteria-induced sepsis in vivo (Nicodeme, et al. “Suppression of Inflammation by a Synthetic Histone Mimic,” Nature (published online Nov. 10, 2010)).
Bromodomain-containing proteins (such as BET proteins) have also been found to play a role in viral infection. For example, BRD4 is implicated in the primary phase of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection, in which the viral genome is maintained in an extra-chromosomal episome in basal epithelia. In some strains of HPV, BRD4 binding to the HPV E2 protein functions to tether the viral genome to chromosomes. E2 is critical for both the repression of E6/E7 and the activation of HPV viral genes. Disruption of BRD4 or the BRD4-E2 interaction blocks E2-dependent gene activation. BRD4 also functions to tether other classes of viral genomes to host chromatin (e.g., Herpes virus, Epstein-Barr virus).
Bromodomain-containing proteins has also been found to bind to acetylated lysine residues on proteins other than histones. For example, the bromodomain of CREB binding protein transcriptional coactivator (CBP) allows for recognition of p53 with acetylated Lys382. The interaction between the bromodomain and acetyl-p53 follows DNA damage and promotes p53-induced transcriptional activation of the CDK inhibitor p21 and cell cycle arrest.
Another novel bromodomain-containing protein is BAZ2B, whose biological function, is believed to function similarly to ACF1, the Drosophila BAZ2B ortholog. ACF complexes play roles in establishing regular nucleosome spacing during chromatin assembly and influencing different remodeling outcomes at target loci.

Step 1: 1-cyclobutyl-3-methylpyridin-1-ium chloride




Cyclobutylamine (2.3 g, 32 mmol) was added to 1-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-3-methylpyridinium chloride (J. Org. Chem. 1997, 62, 729-33) (8.0 g, 31 mmol) in n-butanol (120 mL) at 20° C. and the deep red solution was refluxed overnight. Concentration under vacuum left a residue that was treated with water (20 mL) and the precipitate was removed by filtration, and the operation was repeated twice. The combined aqueous phase was basified with concentrated ammonia (2 mL) and washed twice with EtOAc. Evaporation of the water to gave the title compound (3.2 g, 70%) as a brown oil. LCMS: 148 M+
Step 2: 1-cyclobutyl-3-methylpyridin-2-one




A stirred solution of the title compound from step 2 (2.8 g, 18.9 mmol) in water (30 mL) was cooled to 5° C. and K3Fe(CN)6 in water (30 mL) was added dropwise over 1 h. Then KOH (16.7 g, 298.6 mmol) in water (5 mL) and toluene (30 mL) were added, and the mixture was heated at 40° C. for 30 min. The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with DCM. The combined organic layers were washed with water, brine and dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. Silica gel chromatography (DCM) gave the title compound (1.9 g, 62%) as a yellow oil. LCMS: 164 (M+H)+
Step 3: 5-bromo-1-cyclobutyl-3-methylpyridin-2-one




The title compound of step 3 (1.5 g, 9.2 mmol) in acetic acid (30 mL) was stirred at rt for 10 min. Bromine (1.51 g, 9.5 mmol) was then added slowly, and after about 2 h, the mixture was diluted with water and extracted with DCM. The organic solution was washed with water, brine and dried over Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated and purified by silica gel chromatography (DCM) to give the title compound (2.0 g, 82%) as a yellow oil. LCMS: 242, 244 (M+H)+

II. Biological Evaluation
Example 1
In Vitro Enzyme Inhibition Assay
Determination of the IC50 for the heterocyclic derivative BRD4 inhibitors disclosed herein was performed as follows. His-tagged BRD4 was cloned, expressed and purified to homogeneity (P. Filipakopoulos et al. Nature 468, 1067-1073, 2010). BRD4 binding and inhibition was assessed by monitoring the interaction of biotinylated H4-tetraacetyl peptide (AnaSpec, H4K5/8/12/16(Ac), biotin-labeled) with the target using the AlphaScreen technology (Life Technologies). In a 384-well ProxiPlate BRD4(BD1) (2 nM final) was combined with peptide (15 nM final) in 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.3), 10 mM NaCl, 0.25 mM TCEP, 0.1% (w/v) BSA, and 0.005% (w/v) Brij-35 either in the presence of DMSO (final 0.4% DMSO) or compound dilution series in DMSO. After 20 minute incubation at room temperature, Alpha streptavidin donor beads and Nickel Chelate acceptor beads were added to a final concentration of 5 μg/mL. After two hours of equilibration, plates were read on an Envision instrument and the IC50 was calculated using a four parameter non-linear curve fit. Chemistry Example 1 (2-methyl-4-phenylisoquinolin-1-one) had an IC50 of 2.782 μM in this assay format.
The ability of the compounds disclosed herein to inhibit BRD4 activity was quantified and the respective IC50 value was determined. The IC50 values of various compounds disclosed herein is provided in Table 24.
Example 2
In Vitro Cell-based Assay
A colorimetric cellular proliferation assay (Cell-MTS assay) was performed to assess the ability of the heterocyclic derivative BRD4 inhibitors disclosed herein to effect the proliferation of established cancer cell lines.
Assay Principle
The Cell-MTS assay is a 7-day plate-based colorimetric assay which quantifies the amount of newly generated NADH in the presence or absence of test compound. The NADH level is used for the quantification of cancer cell proliferation.
Assay Method
Established cancer cell lines with a variety of driving mutations were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and routinely passaged according to ATCC protocols. For routine assay, these cells were seeded at densities which enabled  ̃90% confluence after 7 days of culture. Raji, human Burkitts lymphoma cells, (cMYC) were seeded at 15,000 cells per 96-well. HL-60, human proleukemia cells, (NRAS, p16, p53, c-Myc amplified) were seeded at 5,000 cells per 96-well. NCI-H460, human non-small cell lung cancer cells, (KRAS, PIK3CA, STLK11, p16) were seeded at 3,000 cells per 96-well. 24 hours after plating, cells received an 11 point dilution of test compound with final concentration ranges from 100 μM to 2.0 nM. Cells were incubated in the presence of compound for 168 hours at 37° C., and 5% CO2. At the end of this incubation period, 80 μL of media is removed and 20 μL of CellTiter 96® AQueous Non-Radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay solution (Promega) was added. The cells were incubated until the OD490 was >0.6. IC50 values were calculated using the IDBS XLfit software package and include background subtracted OD490 values and normalization to DMSO controls. Cellular proliferation IC50 values were uploaded and archived using the Chem Biography Platform.
Table 24 provides the results of the in vitro enzyme inhibition assay experiments and the in vitro cell-based assay experiments performed with the compounds disclosed herein.

Example 3
In Vivo Xenograph Study—Antitumor Efficacy in Xenograft Models of NUT Midline Carcinoma (NMC)
Xenograft models of NMC in mice are used in this study. Matched cohorts of mice with established tumors are randomized to treatment with a test compound or vehicle, administered by daily intraperitoneal injection. Before randomization and after 4 days of therapy, mice are evaluated by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET imaging. Tumor-volume measurements are also made, as are measures of toxicity or weight loss. Tumors are obtained and sectioned and immunohistochemically examined for the BRD4-NUT oncoprotein, cell spreading, keratin expression, nuclear Ki67, and TUNEL staining Paired samples from treated and untreated mice are prepared and analyzed using standardized protocols and commercially available software (i.e., ImageScopt; Aperio Technologies).
Example 4
In Vivo Xenograph Study—Antitumor Efficacy in Xenograft Models of MCF-7 Breast Cancer
Time release pellets containing 0.72 mg 17-β Estradiol are subcutaneously implanted into nu/nu mice. MCF-7 cells are grown in RPMI containing 10% FBS at 5% CO2, 37° C. Cells are spun down and re-suspended in 50% RPMI (serum free) and 50% Matrigel at 1×107 cells/mL. MCF-7 cells are subcutaneously injected (100 μL/animal) on the right flank 2-3 days post pellet implantation and tumor volume (length×width2/2) is monitored bi-weekly. When tumors reach an average volume of  ̃200 mm3 animals are randomized and treatment is started. Animals are treated with a test compound or vehicle daily for 4 weeks. Tumor volume and body weight are monitored bi-weekly throughout the study. At the conclusion of the treatment period, plasma and tumor samples are taken for pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analyses, respectively.
Example 5
In Vivo Xenograph Study—Antitumor Efficacy in Xenograft Model of Raji Human Burkitts Lymphoma Model
Procedure: Female SCID CB17 mice (6-8 weeks old, Charles River Laboratories) were inoculated subcutaneously in the right flank region with Raji cells (at 3.5×106 cells/mouse) and the tumor was allowed to grow to approximately 150 mm3. Mice were then randomized into treatment cohorts (N=8) and treated orally once daily with vehicle control or test compound for 21 days. Test compound was administered as a suspension in 1% Tween 80, 40% PEG400 and either: 59% of 0.5% HPMC, or 9% DMSO+50% of 0.5% HPMC. Tumors length and width were measured in millimeters three times per week. Tumor volumes were calculated by the formula V=L×W×W/2. Tumor growth inhibition (TGI) was calculated with the formula:

TGI=100−(median tumor volume of treatment group/median tumor volume of vehicle control group)×100

TGI measurements were performed until the volume of a tumor in the control group reached 3,000 mm3. Statistical analysis was performed using 2-tailed T-test. P values <0.05 were considered as statistically significant.

Preliminary Results Seven compounds from Table 1 were selected and administered at doses ranging from 5 mg/kg to 50 mg/kg. TGI was determined to range from 42% to 80%. Results are preliminary and do not reflect optimized dosing schedules.
